3 Months Later Astrid POV
It had been 3 months since Percy had found us, 3 months since we ran from home, and 3 months I fell in love. Percy doesn't know and I'd like to keep it that way; I don't know it's just something about him. His messy black hair? His upbeat attitude? Or maybe the fact that he would easily lay down his life for Maya and I. Whatever it is it has got me hooked and I can't get enough of him. Today we were out hunting and I fell from a tree, he caught me and just for a moment he was so close it could feel his heartbeat. But he put me down and it was over. Percy was a weird guy. He never talked about his life before he met us and when I brought it up he would just get all defensive. One time we were walking through the city and pretty girl started to flirt with him he just got a look in his eye. It was as if the girl reminded him of a memory too painful to talk about. He was really nice though, he helped me and Maya make bows and arrows out of the trees. From there I and Maya taught ourselves to use them, Percy was useless.
It was approaching dusk and Maya was asleep, Percy had built a fire in the centre of our secluded campsite. Percy thought i was asleep. I should be. It was his turn to keep watch, but was just watching him sit there, by the stream washing his shirt. I could make out the perfectly toned muscles in his back by the light of the fire. Thinking about this I shifted to a more comfortable position in my make-shift bed. Just then that head of tousled, jet-black hair turned and a pair of sea green eyes settled on me. He looked at me with apologetic eyes and said ''Sorry, did I wake you?'' I shook my head no. ''I-I was having nightmares,'' I shed a tear to make it believable. By now he was next to me stroking my hair. ''Kinda sucks being a half-blood, right?'' he said with a smirk. ''Mm-hm,'' I said averting my eyes and hoping he didn't notice me blushing.
Next Morning Percy POV
Today was just like any other day except for when Maya was waking me up violently. I know, I know I was supposed to be on watch but I was awake for most of the night. When i finally arose she dragged me quickly to the stream without uttering a single word. What I saw next made me cry. It was Astrid she had fallen into the stream overnight. Her head wasn't submerged but her lips and fingers were blue, she had hyperthermia. As quick as lightning i had her in my arms and was running toward the campsite. Think, Percy, THINK! What do you do to warm up a person with hyperthermia fast? In seconds i had taken my shirt off and was wrapped around Astrid hoping she would wake up soon, she was so cold.
